Thank you +++ for sharing all of your knowledge. I build a Apogee 40 from an ECM Kit (balsa) long time ago and this Apogee remains my best RC experience. I took long time to watch an learn from your web (wind and wings) and I now will try to do an composite Apogee "hayabusa-style". For a beginner like me would you recommend me (for the wing) to try first with glass and aramid or direct to try with carbon ?
Thank you for watching my video and website. As for the first try for bagging, I recommend carbon spread like "Carboline SC39/2/45 Spread +/- 45° 39g/m²" because easy to treat. Actually glass cloth and aramid are difficult to treat aside from price.
I use Hyperflight 18mm - 8mm x 1m Tapered Carbon Boom. 88 cm (narrow end cut) to save shipping cost. Web site is below. www.hyperflight.co.uk/products.asp?code=CARBON-BOOM-18-8&name=18mm-8mm-x-1m-tapered-carbon-boom
Amazing results! I have spent many hours trying to figure out how I could make a DLG, but just couldn't get it. Do you have a build thread of this somewhere? I'd love to see these same photos/videos much slower and with a few words of explanation (cloth weights, etc). How did you make the boom? I couldn't follow it in the video, it was too fast. Thanks in advance!
You can see the details at my website below. kousaku.sakura.ne.jp/RC/fuselage.htm I'm currently uploading the video of each process while making a new DLG, so I will upload another video of fuselage in the near future.
Hello and thank you for sharing your instructional video! But...Am I missing something? Do u happen to have a link where I can go to get more detailed instruction (i.e. materials, pastes, etc. that you are using)? Like how in the heck did you make that "Cigar-Shaped" fuselage? I'd like to use wings (I hav extra) from my UMX Radian and build some kind of DLG out of it! Thank you in advance for sharing!! : )
Hey. Can you pleas explane the purpose of spraying the glas/aramid/carbon fabric, befor start molding it? And what is the product you spray it with? Thank you
